Well if a mainstream institution makes a similar argument then they are missing the whole point of privacy, there is the usual point about how everybody has something to hide. If you do not think so then please forward me all your private account information and <i>i promise</i> to not look into everything you have done on them. Even just taking that arguments and dissecting it to reveal the hidden agenda behind it is way too much effort. But the main point is that there is no need to explain why you need basic privacy, it is already revealed why you need it when the NSA goes on a manhunt when somebody reveals that they can search every information on you with a single click. Or when the big five get their shady practices revealed they get defensive and start making bull crap points, or that there are laws on privacy for a reason. Their arguments always have a ton of flaws because they are only after an agenda, public shaming is the answer to their bull crap. "If you aren't doing some shady stuff with that binary then why aren't you releasing the source code?"
